It's merely placing a guard on a machine . . . it's a nuisance . . . there is nothing tangible about it. Have you ever had to walk to a door and ring a bell and say to a woman. "Your husband has been in an accident . . . He's dead! I'm very sorry" . . . Have you ever stood in an emergency room of a hospital and looked into the face of a person who has just realized that an eye. a finger or an arm is missing . . . Have you ever tried to remove the crushed body of a child from under the wheels of a vehicle ... a child who but a few moments before was whole, fi ll Hf ou .v... in*.-, witn a woncieriui future ahead. And someone has the nerve ?or is it ignorance?to say that Safety is not tangible! When we see boys and girls playing in well supervised playgrounds . . . men working on high speed machines . . . and people with whole hands . . . two eyes . . . whole bodies doing necessary jobs . . . people who can walk with pride in the face that they are doing a job safely and well . . . ? - ' < - ~ - mc.i ijiusc-iiis prooi mat Gaiety is tangible. When a program deals with the saving of human beings, whether physically or morally, then we can rest assured that the results will be tangible. \ 11 \ I il^Ht > a < i i I ^b ROBERT, son of Mrs. Jennings Cook, Lydia Spinning, was four years old May 31. ?I II nil Hi ^ ?*^*7^ v ; 4W^H m V^Sj vn^^^vw ^P -.

Kaiserslatucn. Germany April 8. 1958 Dear Folks: To begin this letter 1 want to thank you for The Cloth maKcr which is a great paper. I can't wait to get it each month. The safety program you have for the benefit of employees is one of the best things 1 think the company has started. 1 work in the base shop here, one of the biggest here or in the states. We really get to know what safety means because we handle things from 5 to H5 tons and could be killed easily. I was an employee at Lvdia and my wife now works in No. 2 Spinning on the third shift. Again thanks for the paper. Sincerely. Pfc. Albert Odom 57th Engr. Co. APO 227. P. M. New York City JUNE 15. 1953 Mrs. Land's Pupils Present Recital Piano pupils of Mrs. Joe E.
